About Me

I'm a graduate student at the Craig Newmark School of Journalism based in New York. I am currently a data fellow at The City Reporter. You can find my writing in The City Reporter, Forbes, and NYCity News Service, where I cover housing, social services, education, and economics in New York City.

I graduated from Boston University in 2022 with a B.S. in Journalism and minor in Political Science. While at BU, I was the community editor of The Daily Free Press and wrote for various music outlets, including HotNewHipHop, as well as started a music column for the school.

I was born in the Lower East Side and grew up in the heart of Flushing, Queens. I am a student and product of the most diverse borough in the country.
